Definition
The German word for “favorite” is Lieblings.
The question often comes up in our German classes on how to express “favorites” (as in, “My favorite place is…”). You can do this by simply adding the object (e.g. “book”, “music”, “food”, “position”, etc.) to the word Lieblings — it‘s that easy!
Examples
Lieblingsbuch — Favorite book
Lieblingsmusik — Favorite music
Lieblingsauthor — Favorite author
Lieblingsessen — Favorite food
Mein Lieblingsbuch ist das Telefonbuch. My favorite book is the telephone book. :-)
